 Hi, welcome back to my YouTube channel. I'm here today on Palmychim beach one of the nicest beaches in Israel This beach is located from Jerusalem. It's about a 15-minute drive Going out to the West. It's located on the map a little bit below Tel Aviv. So looking to the right of me here, which is looking northward You can see the big skyscrapers of Tel Aviv. The beach is a nature reserve. So you do need to pay to get in We pay 30 shackles for a car for two people. So that's about Probably 7-8 euro there about $10 as well. So it's not free, but it's also not super expensive It's a very very clean beach and definitely less crowded than the beaches in Tel Aviv If you're looking for somewhere that's a little bit less packed a little bit less noisy in terms of facilities The beach is pretty well maintained. There are restrooms. There's also a refreshment stand where you can buy water and even a beer and Stuff to enjoy your time on the beach And people are tenting here. There is a lifeguard station. They're about to close Very shortly because it's almost 6 o'clock here, but this is a course. I'm recording this just after the summer solstice So it was one of the longest days in Israel. So the beach stays open until I think something like 10 o'clock So yeah, this is a really nice beach if you're looking for a good place to get to you do need to drive for I'm not sure if it's served by public transport, but it would be in any case very difficult to reach So it's really a place if you have a car to get to but if you're looking for a good beach to get to from Jerusalem You're getting a bit of the Jerusalem cabin fever setting in then our favorite beaches are either to go eastward Towards the Dead Sea Beach Kalyia is about 40 minutes drive. It's the closest one or when we go westward Sometimes we prefer to go to Palmykhim instead of the crowds and the traffic jams of Tel Aviv
